Jet black in colour, one finger tan head, light lace. Smell is roasty with some cocoa powder, coffee grind and milky chocolate, light alcohol and some liquorice as well. Taste is roasted with a great deal of dark chocolate, bittersweet coffee and hop notes as well. mildly sweet with bits of anise, mildly sweet mid palate into the finish, roasted aftertaste. Lightly carbonated, full body, chewy, but quite creamy and smooth. A nice serviceable and quite drinkable but still short of remarkable.

Appearance: Pitch black with thick tan head. Not too much lacing left behind.

Smell: Chocolate, molasses and oats.

Taste: Once again, chocolate, molasses and oats. Mostly tastes like an Oatmeal Stout, but a little more char and coffee, as well as that semi-sweet core that all Imperial Stouts have that I can't quite explain.

Appearance: Pours a oily and very dark black with only a slight hint of brownish amber color at the bottom of the glass. Big four finger tan head with surprisingly good retention considering the high ABV. Leaves a lot of creamy lacing around the glass.

Smell: A roasty and pretty sweet smell. Deep roasted malts with good hints of chocolate, oatmeal, coffee, burnt caramel, toast, milk, and toffee. Has some brown sugar and other burnt sugars. Smells creamy and somewhat like a mocha drink. Has a hint of smoke along with the roast bitterness. Also a very subtle hint of dark raisin and plum. Slight hint of earthy hops and alcohol. Pretty good smell.

Taste: Like the smell, although the roast bitterness and hops are much more pronounced. Dark roasted malts with notes of sweet chocolate, oatmeal, milk, caramel, toffee, biscuit, and burnt sugars. Big bitter roast notes of coffee, burnt toast, and smoke. Light undertones of dark fruit including raisin, fig, and plum. Towards the finish comes a noticeable taste of earthy hops and a little pine resin. Finishes with some alcohol heat. Tastes more like a hopped up imperial stout than a oatmeal stout, but tastes good.

Mouthfeel: Body is on the medium to heavy side with a moderate level of carbonation. Creamy, bitter, chewy, and pretty drying in the finish. A little bit boozy.

Overall: A pretty interesting and good beer. The roast is big here and the hops are vibrant for a stout. Still doesn't seem quite as a big as an imperial stout, which makes it like a cross between a oatmeal stout and imperial stout.

Very dark brown, mostly black pour, good 3/4" tan head with good retention and decent lacing going on. Aroma, very similar to the regular stout, but more hops, more chocolate going on here.

Taste, yup, still more chocolate and hops. This really is a true double of the regular stout I'm thinking, just more alcohol, thicker malt body, chocolate, hops, just more everything, but had an added creamy element like it was 10% oats used or something slightly different.

Nice mouthfeel, alternates between the bitter hoppiness and then goes down smoov.

Big light brown head stay around a while and then settles into a pretty decent lacing above a what I believe is a clear super dark brown to blackish colored beer. A very think and dark color to this stout is very enticing.

Surprisingly light aroma consisting of rich dark roasted grain malt, with hint of coffee, toffee, and what seems to be burnt cherries.

Looks great coming out of the bottle in to the glass. A dark jet black pour with a typical white head that stays for a bit.The bouquet was of malt,barley, chocolate, coffee and some Asian spices.

The mouthful was big and bold as a good oatmeal stout should be. I think this one has a bit too much in the ABV.... I think a percent or two lower would have made this would rounder and totally enjoyable.

The finish to this one was big, but as I mentioned above, a little bit too much with the 9% ABV
